Answer: Stuff to Realtors

Being from California and studying the gold rush, more fortunes were made selling tools and equipment to the folks busting their hump.

That being said it makes perfect sense why agents are bombarded with "You Can't Succeed With Out This" sales cry.  Or "Are You The Biggest Loser on the Web?", if so here is a tool to make that all go away. 

TIP: Any latest and greatest widely touted "SEO" thing or technique has been used and abused to the point of irrelevence.  Search engines like to offer uniqueness as they want to provide content so you come back to their search engine and hopefully click an ad.  period

If you are a new agent please check the success rate of these very time consuming activities if you are thinking of considering "Ramping Up Your Pipeline"..

Also, please consider your prospective clients time as everybody still only has 24hrs a day and is probably not as "Plugged In" or "Web Wired" as we would want them to be.

just a thought... and imho, based on surveys I have done with my web leads

I've been trying to figure out where home prices will be and what will drive price appreciation going forward.

Reading about the government planning to hopefully stop buying MBS's says the rates should rise.. will it, probably. They have been able to keep the demand side up when others want to hold out for higher yeilds.. How long they can continue to do this and if they extend it will be 64K question.. Yes we have been borrowing to buy treasuries and MBS's and repay ourselves back the interest with the same or more borrowed money.  wha.. $-)

As far as price appreciation going forward we will either need to return to speculation lending like we had that got us into this mess or maybe a cheap dollar will bring in foreign buyers. Doesc anybody think incomes will increase faster than Taxes(fees, levies,mandates,etc)

Working out affordability and the fact lending is based on full docs(affordability) and debt to income ratios leads me to figure median home prices based on median income. Working this backwards is a stark realization..

Any thoughts..?

This is something you can't buy with stimilus money! :)

There is legislation in both the Senate and the House that would expand the tax credit. A proposal by Sen. Johnny Isakson, R-Ga., would raise the credit amount to a maximum of $15,000 for any buyer of any home over the next year. It would remove the income caps that currently apply (those limits are now $75,000 for an individual and $150,000 on couples).

"I think we've got a realistic chance of doing this," Isakson says. "Our problem is not with the first-time home buyer, it's the move-up buyer."

Lawrence Yun, chief economist at NAR, says extending or raising the tax credit would spur the housing recovery, which in turn would help bolster the economy.
